The undersigned understands that Stryker reserves the right to transfer or assign, from time to time, in whole or in part, to one or more of its affiliates, Purchaser’s right to purchase and accept the Shares tendered herewith.

In addition, the undersigned hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Depositary as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact and proxy of the undersigned with respect to such Shares and any Distributions with full power of substitution (such proxies and power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest in the tendered Shares) to the fullest extent of such shareholder’s rights with respect to such Shares and any Distributions (a) to deliver any Distributions, or transfer of ownership of such Shares and any Distributions on the account books maintained by DTC, together, in either such case, with all accompanying evidence of transfer and authenticity, to or upon the order of Purchaser, (b) to transfer such Shares directly registered in the name of the undersigned in the shareholders register of Wright and any Distributions in respect of such Shares to or upon the order of Purchaser (or Purchaser’s assignee, if applicable) to the extent not already transferred pursuant to this Letter of Transmittal, and (c) to receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Shares and any Distributions, all in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.

The undersigned hereby irrevocably appoints each of the designees of Purchaser as the attorneys-in-fact and proxies of the undersigned, each with full power of substitution, to the fullest extent of such shareholder’s rights with respect to the Shares tendered hereby which have been accepted for payment and with respect to any Distributions, all in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and this Letter of Transmittal. The designees of Purchaser will, with respect to the Shares tendered hereby and any associated Distributions for which the appointment is effective, be empowered to exercise all voting and any other rights of such shareholder, as they, in their sole discretion, may deem proper at any annual, extraordinary, adjourned, postponed, convened or reconvened general meeting of Wright shareholders. This proxy and power of attorney shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest in the tendered Shares. Such appointment is effective when, and only to the extent that, Purchaser accepts the Shares tendered with this Letter of Transmittal for payment pursuant to the Offer. Upon the effectiveness of such appointment, without further action, all prior powers of attorney, proxies and consents given by the undersigned with respect to such Shares and any associated Distributions will be revoked and no subsequent powers of attorney, proxies, consents or revocations may be given (and, if given, will not be deemed effective). Purchaser reserves the right to require that, in order for Shares to be deemed validly tendered, immediately upon Purchaser’s acceptance for payment of such Shares, Purchaser or its designees must be able to exercise full voting, consent and other rights, to the extent permitted under applicable law, with respect to such Shares and any associated Distributions, including voting at any meeting of shareholders, or executing a written consent, concerning any matter.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Shares and any Distributions tendered hereby and, when the same are accepted for payment and paid for by Purchaser, Purchaser will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and the same will not be subject to any adverse claim. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser that the undersigned is the registered holder of the Shares tendered hereby, or the undersigned is a participant in DTC whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of the Shares tendered hereby. The undersigned will, upon reasonable request, promptly execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Depositary or Purchaser to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the Shares and any Distributions tendered hereby. In addition, the undersigned shall promptly remit and transfer to the Depositary for the account of Purchaser (or Purchaser’s assignee, if applicable) any and all Distributions in respect of the Shares tendered hereby, accompanied by documentation sufficient for such transfer and, pending such remittance or appropriate assurance thereof, Purchaser (or Purchaser’s assignee, if applicable) shall be entitled to all rights and privileges as owner of any such Distributions and may withhold the entire purchase price or deduct from the purchase price the amount or value thereof, as determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion.

It is understood that the undersigned will not receive payment for the Shares tendered herewith unless and until (A) such Shares are accepted for payment and until such documents as the Depositary may require are received by the Depositary at the address set forth above, and (B) in the case of Shares being tendered by book-entry transfer into an account maintained by the Depositary at DTC, ownership of such Shares is validly transferred on the account books maintained by DTC, and in each case until the same are processed for payment by the Depositary.

IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING DELIVERY THROUGH DTC) IS AT THE SOLE COST, OPTION AND RISK OF THE UNDERSIGNED AND THAT DELIVERY THEREOF WILL ONLY BE DEEMED MADE WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF A BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, RECEIPT OF A BOOK-ENTRY CONFIRMATION (AS DEFINED BELOW)).

IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION TIME.

Except as stated in the Offer to Purchase, this tender is irrevocable.

ii.

if your Shares are held in “street” name and are being tendered by book-entry transfer into an account maintained by the Depositary at DTC, (A) this Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, or an Agent’s Message (as defined below) in lieu of a Letter of Transmittal, (B) a confirmation of book-entry transfer into the Depositary’s account at DTC of the Shares tendered by book-entry transfer (“Book-Entry Confirmation”), and (C) any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal.

Shareholders who cannot deliver all of the required documents to the Depositary prior to the Expiration Time or who cannot complete the procedures for book-entry transfer prior to the Expiration Time may nevertheless tender their Shares by properly completing and duly executing a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedure set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. Pursuant to such procedure: (a) such tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution, (b) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery substantially in the form provided by Purchaser must be received by the Depositary prior to the Expiration Time, and (c) a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof, or alternatively, an Agent’s Message in the case of tendering Shares held in “street” name by book-entry transfer), a Book-Entry Confirmation with respect to all tendered Shares (in the case of tendering Shares held in “street” name by book-entry transfer) and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, if any, must be received by the Depositary within two Nasdaq Global Select Market trading days after the date of execution of such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.

The term “Agent’s Message” also includes any hard copy printout evidencing such message generated by a computer terminal maintained at the Depositary’s office.

For Shares to be validly tendered during any Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period, if applicable, the tendering shareholder must comply with the foregoing procedures, except that the required documents must be received before the expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period or, if applicable, the Minority Exit Offering Period, and no guaranteed delivery procedure will be available during any Subsequent Offering Period or Minority Exit Offering Period.

IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION TIME.

No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted and no fractional Shares will be purchased. All tendering shareholders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of their Shares for payment.

All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of the tender of any Shares hereunder, including questions as to the proper completion or execution of any Letter of Transmittal, Notice of Guaranteed Delivery or other required documents, will be determined by Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion (which may delegate power in whole or in part to the Depositary) which determination will be final and binding. Purchaser reserves the absolute right to reject any and all tenders determined by it not to be in proper form or the acceptance for payment of, or payment for, which may, in the opinion of Purchaser’s counsel, be unlawful. Purchaser also reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in the tender of any Shares of any particular shareholder, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of any other shareholder. No tender will be deemed to have been validly made unless and until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived within such time as Purchaser may reasonably determine. The Depositary shall make reasonable efforts to notify any person of any defect in any Letter of Transmittal submitted to the Depositary.

3.	Inadequate Space. If the space provided herein is inadequate, additional information may be provided on a separate schedule attached hereto and separately signed on each page thereof in the same manner as this Letter of Transmittal is signed.

4.	Signatures on Letter of Transmittal. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares tendered herewith, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written in the shareholders register of Wright relating to the tendered Shares.

If any Shares tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal. If any tendered Shares are registered in the names of different holders, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of those tendered Shares.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, that person should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to Purchaser of that person’s authority so to act must be submitted.

Transfer Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in this Instruction 5, Purchaser will pay all share transfer taxes, if any, with respect to the sale and transfer of Shares to it or to its order pursuant to the Offer (for the avoidance of doubt, transfer taxes do not include U.S. federal income or backup withholding taxes). If, however, payment of the purchase price of any Shares purchased is to be made to any person other than the registered holder(s) or if tendered Shares are registered in the name of any person other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of any share transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder(s), or such other person, or otherwise) payable on account of the payment to such other person will be deducted from the purchase price of the tendered Shares purchased, unless evidence satisfactory to Purchaser of the payment of such taxes, or exemption therefrom, is submitted with the Letter of Transmittal.

6.	Special Payment and Delivery Instructions. If a check for the purchase price of any tendered Shares is to be issued in the name of or to be sent to a person other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal or to the person(s)

signing this Letter of Transmittal but at an address other than that shown in the box titled “Description of Shares Tendered” above, the appropriate boxes on this Letter of Transmittal must be completed. Shareholders delivering Shares tendered hereby by book-entry transfer may request that Shares not purchased be credited to an account maintained at DTC as such shareholder may designate in the box titled “Special Payment Instructions” herein. If no such instructions are given, all such book-entry Shares not purchased will be returned by crediting the same account at DTC as the account from which such book-entry Shares were delivered.

Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies. Questions and requests for assistance may be directed to the Information Agent at the address and telephone numbers set forth below or to a shareholder’s broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee. Additional copies of the Offer to Purchase, this Letter of Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and other documents related to the Offer may be obtained from the Information Agent for free.

U.S. Federal Backup Withholding. In order to avoid U.S. federal backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24 percent) on payments of the purchase price with respect to Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, each tendering shareholder that is a U.S. Person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) must provide the Depositary with a properly completed, dated and signed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 furnishing such shareholder’s correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) and certifying, under penalties of perjury, that such number is correct, such shareholder is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding and such shareholder is a U.S. Person, or by otherwise establishing a basis for exemption. If a tendering shareholder that is a U.S. Person does not have a TIN, such shareholder should consult the instructions to IRS Form W-9 for information on applying for a TIN and apply for a TIN immediately. If a tendering shareholder that is a U.S. Person does not provide its TIN to the Depositary by the time of payment, U.S. federal backup withholding may apply. Certain shareholders (including, among others, certain corporations, non-resident non-U.S. individuals and non-U.S. entities) may not be subject to the U.S. federal backup withholding and reporting requirements.

In order for a tendering shareholder that is not a U.S. Person to avoid U.S. federal backup withholding on payments of the purchase price with respect to Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, each such tendering shareholder must provide the Depositary with a properly completed copy of the appropriate IRS Form W-8, certifying, under penalties of perjury, that such shareholder is not a U.S. Person and is the beneficial owner of payments received pursuant to the Offer, or alternatively establish a basis for exemption.

NOTE: FAILURE TO PROPERLY COMPLETE AND RETURN THE IRS FORM W-9 OR THE APPROPRIATE IRS FORM W-8 (OR OTHERWISE ESTABLISH A BASIS FOR EXEMPTION FROM U.S. FEDERAL BACKUP WITHHOLDING) WILL NOT, BY ITSELF, CAUSE SHARES TO BE DEEMED INVALIDLY TENDERED BUT MAY RESULT IN A 24% U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING ON THE PURCHASE PRICE AND A PENALTY BEING IMPOSED BY THE IRS. PLEASE REVIEW THE “IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION” SECTION BELOW.

Waiver of Conditions. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the conditions of the Offer may be waived by Purchaser in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion.

IMPORTANT: THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, PROPERLY COMPLETED AND DULY EXECUTED (OR A MANUALLY EXECUTED FACSIMILE COPY THEREOF), OR AN AGENT’S MESSAGE, TOGETHER WITH A BOOK-ENTRY CONFIRMATION (IF APPLICABLE) OR A PROPERLY COMPLETED AND DULY EXECUTED NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION TIME.

Under U.S. federal income tax laws, to prevent U.S. federal backup withholding on payments of the purchase price with respect to Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer to a tendering shareholder that is a U.S. Person, such shareholder is generally required to provide the Depositary (as payer) with such shareholder’s taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) by completing the attached IRS Form W-9 and certifying, under penalties of perjury, that (a) the TIN provided on IRS Form W-9 is correct (or that such shareholder is awaiting a TIN), (b) such shareholder is a U.S. Person, and (c) such shareholder is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding, or by otherwise establishing a basis for exemption from U.S. federal backup withholding. A TIN is generally an individual shareholder’s social security number or a non-individual shareholder’s employer identification number. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN, a penalty may be imposed by the IRS and payments that are made with respect to Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer may be subject to U.S. federal backup withholding. Failure to comply truthfully with the U.S. federal backup withholding requirements may also result in the imposition of criminal and/or civil fines and penalties. If a tendering shareholder that is a U.S. Person has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a TIN or intends to apply for a TIN in the near future, such shareholder should write “Applied for” in Part I of the IRS Form W-9. Notwithstanding that “Applied for” is written in Part I of the IRS Form W-9, the Depositary will withhold 24 percent of all reportable payments of the purchase price with respect to Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer to such shareholder until a TIN is provided to the Depositary. Under certain circumstances, a shareholder’s IRS Form W-9, including its TIN, may be transferred from the Depositary to Purchaser’s paying agent.

Certain shareholders (including certain corporations, non-resident non-U.S. individuals and non-U.S. entities) may not be subject to the U.S. federal backup withholding requirements. An exempt shareholder that is a U.S. Person should provide the Depositary with a properly completed IRS Form W-9 that furnishes such shareholder’s correct TIN and any applicable “exempt payee codes” in the “Exemptions” box of the IRS Form W-9. A shareholder (whether an individual or an entity) that is not a U.S. Person may qualify as an exempt recipient by submitting to the Depositary a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable IRS Form W-8) certifying, under penalties of perjury, that such shareholder is not a U.S. Person and is the beneficial owner of payments received pursuant to the Offer. In general, a person is not a beneficial owner of income if the person receives the income as nominee, agent or custodian, or to the extent the person is a conduit whose participation in the transaction is disregarded. Please consult your tax advisor for more information. The appropriate IRS Form W-8 can be obtained from the Depositary or downloaded from the IRS’s website at http://www.irs.gov.

Please consult your tax advisor for further guidance regarding the completion of IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable IRS Form W-8) to claim exemption from U.S. federal backup withholding, or contact the Depositary.

If U.S. federal backup withholding applies, the Depositary is required to withhold and pay over to the IRS a portion of any payment made to a shareholder. U.S. federal backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to U.S. federal backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If U.S. federal backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required information is properly furnished to the IRS.

For additional information regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Offer to Purchase, see “Certain Material Tax Consequences—U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the Offer to Purchase.

Purpose of Form

An individual or entity (Form W-9 requester) who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) which may be your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN), to report on an information return the amount paid to you, or other amount reportable on an information return. Examples of information returns include, but are not limited to, the following.

• Form 1099-INT (interest earned or paid)

• Form 1099-DIV (dividends, including those from stocks or mutual funds)

• Form 1099-MISC (various types of income, prizes, awards, or gross proceeds)

• Form 1099-B (stock or mutual fund sales and certain other transactions by brokers)

• Form 1099-S (proceeds from real estate transactions)

• Form 1099-K (merchant card and third party network transactions)

• Form 1098 (home mortgage interest), 1098-E (student loan interest), 1098-T (tuition)

• Form 1099-C (canceled debt)

• Form 1099-A (acquisition or abandonment of secured property)

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN.

If you do not return Form W-9 to the requester with a TIN, you might be subject to backup withholding. See What is backup withholding, later.



		Cat. No. 10231X		Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)

Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)

Page 2

By signing the filled-out form, you:

1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income, and

4. Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct. See What is FATCA reporting, later, for further information.

Note: If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

• An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien;

• A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States;

• An estate (other than a foreign estate); or

• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section 1446 on any foreign partners’ share of effectively connected taxable income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income.

In the cases below, the following person must give Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States.

• In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the entity;

• In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the trust; and

• In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Pub. 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items.

1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income.

3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will

become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233.

Backup Withholding

What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 24% of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,

2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the instructions for Part II for details),

3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,

4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See Exempt payee code, later, and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

Also see Special rules for partnerships, earlier.

What is FATCA Reporting?

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all United States account holders that are specified United States persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code, later, and the Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

Updating Your Information

You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account; for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.

Penalties

Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)

Specific Instructions

Line 1

You must enter one of the following on this line; do not leave this line blank. The name should match the name on your tax return.

If this Form W-9 is for a joint account (other than an account maintained by a foreign financial institution (FFI)), list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of Form W-9. If you are providing Form W-9 to an FFI to document a joint account, each holder of the account that is a U.S. person must provide a Form W-9.

a. Individual. Generally, enter the name shown on your tax return. If you have changed your last name without informing the Social Security Administration (SSA) of the name change, enter your first name, the last name as shown on your social security card, and your new last name.

Note: ITIN applicant: Enter your individual name as it was entered on your Form W-7 application, line 1a. This should also be the same as the name you entered on the Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ you filed with your application.

b. Sole proprietor or single-member LLC. Enter your individual name as shown on your 1040/1040A/1040EZ on line 1. You may enter your business, trade, or “doing business as” (DBA) name on line 2.

c. Partnership, LLC that is not a single-member LLC, C corporation, or S corporation. Enter the entity’s name as shown on the entity’s tax return on line 1 and any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.

d. Other entities. Enter your name as shown on required U.S. federal tax documents on line 1. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.

e. Disregarded entity. For U.S. federal tax purposes, an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner is treated as a “disregarded entity.” See Regulations section 301.7701-2(c)(2)(iii). Enter the owner’s name on line 1. The name of the entity entered on line 1 should never be a disregarded entity. The name on line 1 should be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income should be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a single owner that is a U.S. person, the U.S. owner's name is required to be provided on line 1. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity's name on line 2, “Business name/disregarded entity name.” If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9. This is the case even if the foreign person has a U.S. TIN.

Line 2

If you have a business name, trade name, DBA name, or disregarded entity name, you may enter it on line 2.

Line 3

Check the appropriate box on line 3 for the U.S. federal tax classification of the person whose name is entered on line 1. Check only one box on line 3.

Exemption from FATCA reporting code. The following codes identify payees that are exempt from reporting under FATCA. These codes apply to persons submitting this form for accounts maintained outside of the United States by certain foreign financial institutions. Therefore, if you are only submitting this form for an account you hold in the United States, you may leave this field blank. Consult with the person requesting this form if you are uncertain if the financial institution is subject to these requirements. A requester may indicate that a code is not required by providing you with a Form W-9 with “Not Applicable” (or any similar indication) written or printed on the line for a FATCA exemption code.

A—An organization exempt from tax under section 501(a) or any individual retirement plan as defined in section 7701(a)(37)

Note: You may wish to consult with the financial institution requesting this form to determine whether the FATCA code and/or exempt payee code should be completed.

Line 5

Enter your address (number, street, and apartment or suite number). This is where the requester of this Form W-9 will mail your information returns. If this address differs from the one the requester already has on file, write NEW at the top. If a new address is provided, there is still a chance the old address will be used until the payor changes your address in their records.

Line 6

Enter your city, state, and ZIP code.

Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN.

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.

Note: See What Name and Number To Give the Requester, later, for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local SSA office or get this form online at www.SSA.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by

accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/Businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. Go to www.irs.gov/Forms to view, download, or print Form W-7 and/or Form SS-4. Or, you can go to www.irs.gov/OrderForms to place an order and have Form W-7 and/or SS-4 mailed to you within 10 business days.

If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, apply for a TIN and write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

Note: Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

Caution: A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

Part II. Certification

To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9. You may be requested to sign by the withholding agent even if item 1, 4, or 5 below indicates otherwise.

For a joint account, only the person whose TIN is shown in Part I should sign (when required). In the case of a disregarded entity, the person identified on line 1 must sign. Exempt payees, see Exempt payee code, earlier.

Signature requirements. Complete the certification as indicated in items 1 through 5 below.

1. Interest, dividend, and barter exchange accounts opened before 1984 and broker accounts considered active during 1983. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification.

2. Interest, dividend, broker, and barter exchange accounts opened after 1983 and broker accounts considered inactive during 1983. You must sign the certification or backup withholding will apply. If you are subject to backup withholding and you are merely providing your correct TIN to the requester, you must cross out item 2 in the certification before signing the form.

3. Real estate transactions. You must sign the certification. You may cross out item 2 of the certification.

4. Other payments. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification unless you have been notified that you have previously given an incorrect TIN. “Other payments” include payments made in the course of the requester’s trade or business for rents, royalties, goods (other than bills for merchandise), medical and health care services (including payments to corporations), payments to a nonemployee for services, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, payments to certain fishing boat crew members and fishermen, and gross proceeds paid to attorneys (including payments to corporations).

5. Mortgage interest paid by you, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, qualified tuition program payments (under section 529), ABLE accounts (under section 529A), IRA, Coverdell ESA, Archer MSA or HSA contributions or distributions, and pension distributions. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification.

Secure Your Tax Records From Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

To reduce your risk:

• Protect your SSN,

• Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and

• Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.

If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter.

If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.

For more information, see Pub. 5027, Identity Theft Information for Taxpayers.

Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a systemic problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059.

Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes. Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.

The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts.

If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to phishing@irs.gov. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 1-800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov or report them at www.ftc.gov/complaint. You can contact the FTC at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 877-IDTHEFT (877-438-4338). If you have been the victim of identity theft, see www.IdentityTheft.gov and Pub. 5027.
